Storm clouds over Plumstead
This was a day of heavy showers and some bright sunshine. Despite appearances, there was no rain locally for much of the rest of the day although I would imagine it was fairly wet over north-east London which was the direction this photograph was taken. This was from Sladedale Road in Plumstead looking across the roofs in Roydene Road to the houses in Parkdale Road. The tower blocks are on the Glyndon Estate.

The distant grey tower blocks in the centre of the photograph are at the new development at the Royal Arsenal.

Roofs of Roydene Road
This is an unusual sort of view for London, a generally flattish city. But Plumstead has some of the steepest hills in the city; this is looking down from Sladedale Road onto the rooftops of the adjacent street, Roydene Road. The tower blocks in the distance are in Woolwich.

A hillside of houses in Plumstead
Plumstead Common is as near to the North of England or South Wales as you can get in London. It has ravines, steep steps and houses built up hillsides. This view is from steps leading from Lakedale Road down the side of the ravine known as The Slade and its pond, as seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6732531
The backs of the houses in Chestnut Rise are at the top here, while below those are the houses in Tormount Road and at the very bottom are houses in Roydene Road.

View from the steps leading up to Lakedale Road
Plumstead Common is as near as the North of England you can get in London. It has ravines, steep steps and houses built up hillsides. This view is from the steps leading up from the Slade Ponds to Lakedale Road and Winns Common which is part of Plumstead Common and looks past the cottages seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6447559 towards Tormount Road.
The steps are also seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6447557 with the cottages to the left.
